The Lakers' website revealed that players were physically tested, then put through a workout before finishing with shooting drills. Ennis was asked, as he is in all these NBA test cities, about whether he can play defense, given Syracuse's brand of 2-3 zone:

"Coming from Syracuse, it's tough to see how you can play 1-on-1 defense so I'm trying to show I can defend another point guard, and show I can shoot the NBA three," said Ennis, who shot 35 percent from the college 3-point line. "They haven't seen us shoot from NBA range in college so coming out and being able to shoot the ball and sticking to what I do best, make plays for others, work off the pick-and-roll, work off isolation and just sticking to my game."

Ennis has either worked out or plans to work out for multiple NBA teams. He spent the day with his hometown Raptors last week. He has worked out for Sacramento (No. 8 pick) and the Lakers (No. 7). He reportedly plans to visit Orlando (4th and 12th picks) on Sunday, plus Atlanta (15), Charlotte (9 and 24) and Denver (11) for more workouts.

Chad Ford of ESPN predicts Ennis could go anywhere from No. 8 to No. 20 in the draft. Draft Express slots him at No. 16.

The Raptors, who own the 20th pick, would be a popular destination for Ennis, who grew up in nearby Brampton, Ontario. All year he has trumpeted the cause of Canadian basketball. Ennis told reporters in Toronto that where he's picked doesn't matter as much as which team selects him.

"It's more important to fit," Ennis said in a story by the Toronto Star. "There's people that could go high and not fit in on a team and I think it's more important to end up on a team where you're needed and you're able to be successful rather than being a high number draft pick. It's tough for a player because you don't get to choose where you go and you've just to go hope you find up in the right spot."

Ennis worked out for Sacramento on Monday, where he told reporters he believed he was the best true point guard in the draft. He said that on a day when Smart and Elfrid Payton were also working out for the Kings.

He talked to reporters outside the Air Canada Centre before his workout for the Raptors and said he that initially believed he would spend two years in Syracuse before opting for a pro career.

SU's quick 25-0 start shined a wide spotlight on the Orange and provided Ennis with the exposure that lifted his professional stock, he said. He elected to declare for the draft shortly after SU was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament.

"I think I've improved a lot and I've learned a lot along the way and I've had some fun along the way as well," Ennis told James Herbert of CBS Sports. "I've pretty much enjoyed my time playing basketball for fun and I'm ready for the professional level now."

And he attended the NBA Draft lottery, where he sported a natty bow tie. He should prepare himself for the dozens of questions he'll get before the draft on what he plans to wear to the big event. It was a surprisingly popular question at last year's pre-draft meeting with potential draft picks in New York.
